Without wishing to defend Hamas, but where is this on the news? Because as far as I can see - nope, nothing. I’ve checked Al Jazeera, I’ve checked Qatari news, I’ve even had one of the Israeli channels up.
Why is it their responsibility to find information about what someone else is talking about?
The lack of logic and intellectualism amongst the pro Israel lobby here is increasingly laughable.
Google searches are person specific, so what comes up on your search's may not come up the same for another. IE the rightwing nut bar shit you go to, won't show up for me, since I never go to those sites....
I've said many times in this thread.... The purpose of it is to provide information much more than analysis. Whenever possible, I prefer a source be provided.
As a published historian, I agree with you. Always provide sources and citations as best practice.
This is something that absolutely baffles me. Even being in the UK, the people I know who are usually opposed to racism or discrimination and injustice are very publicly applauding Israel’s actions
Because Israel is a liberal democracy in a part of the world where autocracy is the norm.
Antisemitism has a powerful pull even with people who support liberal causes. Israel is judged by stricter standards because it’s the homeland of the Jews.
This is rubbish. Again. Not borne out by the facts.
This is the correct place to be in, IMO.
Zionism is the belief that Jews should have a homeland.
Calling Israel “fascist” is definitely antisemitic.
I’m not going to pretend to understand Zionism but I’m appreciating this thread for giving me things I want to further research and understand.
i think that definition is a tad outdated.
It’s not antisemitic to criticize Israel, but equating Israel to the Nazis definitely is.
You have a far right government which is calling for the eradication of an indigenous population and involving an apartheid state.
